[codecs filter] send + receive SDP via MNCC

Transmit and receive full SDP information via MNCC, to accurately pass
codecs choices between the call legs.

In msc_vlr_test_call.c test_call_mt(), show that when receiving MNCC,
the codec information in SDP overrules the Bearer Cap codec information
-- we expect to still receive inaccurate Bearer Cap from e.g.
osmo-sip-connector, because we have chosen to add SDP to MNCC instead of
trying to fix the codecs represented in Bearer Cap.

For internal MNCC, the MT call leg now knows which codec the MO has
chosen and assigned.

For external MNCC, osmo-sip-connector receives SDP about our codecs
choices and sends it in SIP messages, and we also receive the full SDP
information from the remote SIP leg.

Update the SDP in codec_filter every time it is received, to always have
the latest SDP information from the remote leg.

 CC              MNCC
 | ---ALERTING--> |     add local side SDP to MNCC msg
 | <--ALERTING--- |     store remote side SDP
 | <--SETUP-RESP- |     store remote side SDP
 | --SETUP-CNF--> |     add local side SDP to MNCC msg
 | -RTP-CREATE--> |     use codec_filter, add local side SDP to MNCC msg
 | <-RTP-CONNECT- |     store remote side SDP

There still is one problem: when initiating MNCC, we do not yet know the
RTP address and port to be used for the CN side, because the CN CRCX
happens later. So far we send 0.0.0.0:0 as RTP endpoint in the SDP,
until the CN CRCX is done. A subsequent patch moves CN CRCX to an
earlier time, adding proper RTP information right from the start.

osmo-msc - Osmocom MSC Implementation

This repository contains a C-language implementation of a GSM Mobile Switching Centre (MSC) for 2G (GSM) and 3G (UMTS). It is part of the Osmocom Open Source Mobile Communications project.

OsmoMSC exposes

  • A over IP towards BSCs (e.g. OsmoBSC): 3GPP AoIP or SCCPlite
  • IuCS over IP towards RNCs / HNBGW (e.g. osmo-hnbgw)
  • The Osmocom typical telnet VTY and CTRL interfaces.
  • The Osmocom typical statsd exporter.

OsmoMSC implements

  • mobility management
  • call control (either via built-in MNCC handler or external osmo-sip-connector)
  • USSD (exposed via GSUP)
  • SMS (either via built-in SMSC or external via GSUP)

History

OsmoMSC originated from the OsmoNITB project, which started as a minimalistic all-in-one implementation of the GSM Network. In 2017, OsmoNITB had reached maturity and diversity (including M3UA SIGTRAN and 3G support in the form of IuCS and IuPS interfaces) that naturally lead to a separation of the all-in-one approach to fully independent separate programs as in typical GSM networks.

OsmoMSC was one of the parts split off from the old openbsc.git.
